FX 8320 VS 8350

Go to solution Solved by WoodenMarker,

The 8350 is higher binned with a higher clock at stock and generally overclocks more easily. 

It's not worth paying much more for unless you need the cpu power or just want a high oc.

I was just wondering, whats the biggest difference? If there isn't one, wouldn't it be as simple as just overclocking the 8320 to the 8350's specs to make it like the 8350? I'm on a budget but would like the 8 cores (for future proofing since BF4 will have an update to use all 8 cores eventually). Is there any major difference?

 

Also If it helps I'm also going to be recording gameplay, livestreaming, rendering and editing videos. 

 

Thanks for the help!

They are essentially the same chip, the 8350 is just higher binned.

Get the 8320 and overclock it.

Save money and buy the FX8320. Use the savings to invest in a better cooler for overclocking, or to invest in a GPU if you want to upgrade.

In order to best help the OP, let's get one thing straight:

If he'd take one 8350 and one 8320 and overclock both to... let's say 4.6GHz, he would get the same level of performance, agreed?

Intel 4770k@4.6GHz, ASUS ROG Maximus VI Hero, Kingston HyperX Beast 2x8GB 2400MHz CL11, Gigabyte GTX 1070 Gaming, Kingston HyperX 3k 240GB - RAID0 (2x120Gb), 2xWD 1TB (Blue and Green), Corsair H100i, Corsair AX860, CoolerMaster HAF X, ASUS STRIX Tactic pro, Logitech G400S, HyperX Cloud II, Logitech X530, Acer Predator X34.
